This week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, 13th March is Sport Relief 2020 and today most students and staff took up the opportunity to wear their sports kit to school. We do not know the final amounts but that is sure to have raised over \u00a31000 for Sport Relief. This will be added to the amounts raised through activities through the week including today’s staff vs. students netball competition at lunchtime. The match was well supported and very competitive. It ended in a draw so we look forward to a re-match sometime soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 9 parents’ evening was very busy on Thursday. It is such an important evening as Year 9 are now fully into their KS4 options process. The first parents’ evening where we did not shake hands probably felt a bit odd but seemed in the circumstances the appropriate thing to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classroom Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We provided these in a recent bulletin but they are shown again here in case you missed them: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If the Classroom Rules are followed by all students, this enables everyone to have a much better chance of getting the most out of their education. Our full School Rules are published in the Student Planner and Rule 1 is really the basis for all the others and builds on our values of Respect, Responsibility and Honesty. Rule 1 states that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pupils are expected to behave sensibly and with\nconsideration for others at all times (including when travelling to and from\nschool).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is expected that all students follow all these rules and live by School’s values. If they do not, then they can expect a sanction. They should not be surprised if a member of staff gives them a sanction. In accordance with the Home – School Agreement, we appreciate it when parents support the School’s decisions on these matters. Of course, the huge number of positive House Points in Class Charts shows that most Darrick Wood students understand this, follow our rules really well and are achieving highly as a result of working hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSFA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSFA’s second-hand uniform sale is in the Dining Hall on Saturday, 14th March 10-11.30am. It is always busy so come along early and pick up some bargains whilst raising money for the School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
